its a repost, but a worthy one
DON'T BUY FROM AMAZON as it doesn't count toward the chart. it has to cost more than 40p to count or something

I've been thinking about this. It's not going to hurt Simon Cowell's wallet because anyone who would download the X Factor track
would be oblivious to this and hardly likely to download Rage Against the Machine as a substitute. In that respect the X Factor track will sell as
many as it would anyway.
That said, I think it's funny - so I've done my bit! I think it's the first time I've ever bought a single!

Please everyone, tell your friends, tell anyone that will listen. Go buy it before the 21st so we can stop that X factor winner getting the top
spot.
Would be great if it happens.
Cheers

I saw the race to the number 1 slot and the Facebook group trying to stop it made it onto the tv news..............so Simon Cowell got yet another
airing on TV during prime time, and no doubt encouraged yet more of the 19 million-odd who watched the final will now go out and buy the X-Factor
single!!
Seems like this "cunning" plan is doomed to failure and Simon Cowell will just make even more money out of it.
Sounds like an own goal to me!!!

Yep amazon counts, as do different versions of the song. They all get added together at the end. You'll see on live hits that RATM is currently
#1, #94 and #190, all of which should be added up at the end according to the charts company.
Still number one at the moment:
http://www.livehits.co.uk/
But needs a lot more people who say they will buy to actually do it as the CD single is released today for the xfactor song.

I'd knock the bottom out of Cheryl though (as long as she kept her mouth shut - sorry my Geordie friends)

These record labels folks are clever. The Rage Against the Machine and the X-factor guy are both on the same label so by buying either for whatever
reason, you're lining the pockets of the record label...............
SUCKERS!!!

You are stupid for buying into any of this crap.
Didn't watch X-factor, rather work on my car than waste the time. I'd also rather spend my money on my car and so should u.
Brainwashing is very clever, cause you don't know you have been..........

All that will happen is more people will buy Cowells tune because of this campaign, your all being suckered by the record industry.
If you really want to make a difference give your 65p or whatever to the British Legion.

Everyone's a winner then! X Factor sells as many copies as it would've anyway. RATM sell far more
than they would normally at any given Christmas and potentially get to No.1. X Factor lot aren't overly bothered as they just buy it as
it's a nice tune by that nice lad that won. The RATM supporters are happy because a "proper band" gets the Christmas No.1. Sony
(Cowell's biggest employer) gets more money than it normally would. Shelter get a bigger donation than usual.
Boy, aren't we a generous bunch?

Except they wont!!
The X-Factor single was released for download 2 days later after the final on Sunday, and only today for release on CD. By the end of today i think
we'll find X-Factor will be taking the provisional no.1 slot.
Not saying I like it but there we go - those who think they can beat Cowell at this are pretty dilusional I recon.
Nice try though - RATM is soooooo much better but unfortunately destined to be no.2.

RATM is #1 download on:
Amazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/bestsellers/dmusic
Play (#1 and #3 which will be added together):
http://www.play.com/Music/MP3-Download-Track/6-/TopSellers.html
Itunes (need to log in to see)
And several others too.
It could all change, but time will tell. Yesterday morning RATM was about 10% of sales infront of xfactor.

The point of it is that Cowell doesn't get *another* Xmas number 1. That is a worthy goal in itself.
Have loved Rage since I got into them from watching The Matrix.
Brilliant Rage meets Xfactor video on youtube.

The lyrics to the song are NSFW.

yep i'm in downloaded 2x via amazon for the miserly 29p.
as far as i heard earlier RAM were about 50k units ahead - admittedly with the x factor song being available on cd as of today that will change, but
no reason why we cant keep it at numner one slot!
